Everything I Did on My Weekend in Manila: Nightlife Edition
In contrast to Davao, Manila is a place that never sleeps, especially for certain night spots like Makati or Timog, the current top two party destinations in the metro. Hence, many dwellers outside of the capital prefer partying there. I have been traveling to Manila almost every month for at least four days to attend concerts by my beloved artists. While it would be more economical to fly in and out quickly, as a single girl, I feel it would be a waste to do so, especially since there is so much to enjoy in the city. On my trips to Manila, I almost always opt to stay in Makati…

Street Portraits Taken By realme 12 5G
So I’ve recently joined realme’s annual photowalk using their latest model, the realme 12 5G. This might be the first photo blog that I’ve product so far, because it will be photo-heavy. So the photowalk started at almost 5pm, where the realme people divided all participants into groups. I was part of Route 1, Group 2, which started at Osmeña Park, heading to People’s Park, and finally at Poblacion. Although the photowalk time was set during the golden hour, yesterday was cloudy. Nevertheless, we had the realme 12 5G to back us up in taking photos. I have mostly used the Maverick filter on the real me 12 5G because…

Reviewing Hui’s WHU IS ME: Complex EP
Hui (Lee Hoe Taek) of PENTAGON released his first solo EP last January 16. I’ve been a Universe (PENTAGON’s fandom name) for a while now, and Hui is one of my biases, so I’ve been looking forward to this album since it was announced last December. Besides Hui, I also favor Kino and Jinho, but overall, I love every member of PENTAGON. Hence, it quite vexed me that Kino suddenly released a single on January 8; I’m following him on Instagram, and I’m updated with his affairs, but I thought that he was only modeling (dumb me). Anyhow, stay tuned for my song review for Kino’s “Fashion Style.” But yeah,…

The Little Box of Mindful Meditations Cards Review
For someone who has embraced the esoteric lifestyle for over 12 years, I am quite subtle. Since esotericism and spirituality are uncommon amongst my peers and perhaps in the society I’m surrounded by, I have refrained from speaking about it. Otherwise, I might be the subject of ridicule or at least a condescending smirk. Now, one of my New Year’s resolutions is to blog more about my spiritual journey. But as mentioned, I still have to contemplate doing so deliberately for the reasons above. Nevertheless, I took the first steps by blogging about getting into crystals and being more grateful. Spiritual Guide: Oracle Cards I have been buying Oracle cards…

How I Got Into Collecting Crystals and Gemstones
I’ve always been open about my recent adversities in life. I’ve been blogging about it, and it’s actually the reason why I attempted to blog again. For the past 5 months, I’ve been trying to put my life into perspective, except that I cannot do an all “eat pray love” for some reason. Luckily for me, my family, friends, and SO have been supportive of my journey. However, collecting crystals and gemstones helped me cope with my difficulties as well. I blogged about how I rekindled with the concept of the Law of Attraction and Gratitude. While I greatly believe in that concept, I have to say that I slack…

I’m Banned from Shopping for 30 Days!
I am riddled with guilt. I don’t know what it is about June and July that makes my whole spirit go online or to the malls to look for stuff to buy. I tell you, it’s not only because of the mall-wide sales. For the past years, during these months, I almost exclusively buy stuff online and at thrift shops (most of which aren’t really on sale). I’ve also been rummaging through my closets and realize how much stuff I bought is unused. I gave more than 150 things to charity already last week (not counting the stuff I gave last year and early this year), but I think I…

Feeding my Mind at a Low Price.
Today I’m introducing you to one of my most favorite online shops on Multiply: Surprises of out Boxes Bookstore! I found out about this shop through a person who added our shop (I usually check out their profiles and this particular person uploaded her collection). The moment I checked out Surprises of out Boxes, I knew it was a gift from the universe. I get hyped up every time I find a book I’m interested in in each of the shop’s photo albums. I know a lot of us book-lovers really have a hard time having to save up or spending our entire allowance or salaries for the books we…
